The Mana World Forums

These are pretty crudely done, I made them over the player sprite set, for inspiration.
To see if there is interest in making a sci-fi theme game.

So far i have redone up walk animation to use jet backpack, replacing walk.
and the 5 frames above + a rifle prototype and some particle effects xml stuff... all works in progress.

My basic storyline concept is an abandoned alien space station is discovered, working alien ships are there...thousands of them.
Each ship functions as a map teleport.
Retrieving useful alien technology and artifacts seem like a likely starting point for game quest scripting.

Obviously, this is a major undertaking, requiring a test server, game server and original thinking artists and visionaries.

If this sounds like an interesting concept to you, pm me here or email me salmondine [at] gmail.com...or like it says in my sig
Podling in game,

That kind of a flat shaded very simple and minimalistic art style might actually even fit a space theme. On the definite bonus side, it is a lot easier to find people able to do that than in our case.

Good luck with that project, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

When someone would start a serious(!) effort to create a scifi-themed game based on the mana engine I would be intrigued to help, maybe even with some graphics.

a little more progress...
the up animation with jet pack looks pretty cool...looks like 4 frames will do it =]

a little more progress on suit
